Feeding and Swallowing Clinic @ George Jeffrey Children’s Centre

The Feeding and Swallowing Clinic professionals serve children aged birth to 18 years, who have feeding and-or swallowing issues. Problems addressed include challenges with eating safely and-or significant restriction in tastes and textures, which have physical, developmental and-or sensory-based cause. Selective eaters are eligible for the clinic if they would be classified under extreme picky eaters and-or problem feeders, in line with Dr. Kay Toomey’s research – see chart, http,–www.sosapproach-conferences.com-wp-content-uploads-2012-02-PickyEaters-VS-Problem-Feeders.pdf for these definitions. Please note that they do not address feeding concerns that are solely the result of behaviour issues and-or related to nutritional intake. They suggest families contact their family doctor and-or dietician for information on these areas, respectively.
